Chennai-headquartered two-wheeler and three-wheeler major TVS Motor Company has reported its strongest-ever quarterly sales performance in Q1 of FY2026, hitting a record 1.27 million units. This robust growth was underpinned by significant increases across both two-wheeler and three-wheeler segments, alongside a substantial boost in international business.
For June 2025, the company reported sales of 402,001 units, a 20 percent jump compared to 333,646 units sold in June 2024. Two-wheeler sales accounted for 385,698 units, up 20 percent YoY as compared to 322,168 units last year. Of this domestic market sales grew by 10 percent YoY at 281,012 units.
On the other hand, while demand for TVS iQube remains strong, the company reported sales of 14,400 units sold, a slight decrease from 15,859 units last year. This dip it attributed to the ongoing disruptions in the EV supply chain, particularly concerning the availability of magnets, which continues to pose short to medium-term challenges.
On the exports front, the company shipped 117,145 units last month, which was 54 percent higher as compared to 76,074 units in June 2024. Two-wheeler exports were particularly strong, growing by 58 percent to 104,686 units from 66,434 units in the previous year.
During the first quarter, two-wheeler sales grew 17 percent, with sales rising from 1.05 million units to 1.23 million units in Q1 FY2026.
Three-wheelers experienced 46 percent increase, with sales climbing from around 31,000 units in Q1 FY25 to about 45,000 units in the current quarter.
